    My website, ForwardSlash-Period.org is receiving few hits, and I believe we have found the culprit: your website.

    I will be expecting your reply in the form of sacks marked with dollar signs.

    Thank you,

    What kind of petaQ would play scrabble?

  10. The science behind it is fascinating on 'Tower of Babel' Translator Under Development · · Score: 5, Funny

    The Tower of Babel Translator is small, yellow and leechlike, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy received not from its own carrier but from those around it. It absorbs all unconscious mental frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself with. It then excretes into the mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix formed by combining the conscious thought frequencies with nerve signals picked up from the speech centres of the brain which has supplied them. The practical upshot of all this is that if you stick a Tower of Babel Translator in your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language. The speech patterns you actually hear decode the brainwave matrix which has been fed into your mind by your Tower of Babel Translator.

  11. Dear Blizzard, on Male Blood Elves Get Pumped Up · · Score: 5, Funny

    I feel that the female blood elves wear far too much clothing. This expresses an extreme imbalance in the WoW gameplay. It is completely unfair that male night elves may go topless, while female night elves cannot. This imbalance in gameplay must be addressed, or else i will cancel my subscription.

    Sincerely,
    Whiny Blizzard Customer

  14. Great! on No Ice on the Moon · · Score: 0

    Next we'll hear that it's not actually made of cheese.

  15. Re:I am not an American... on TV Really Might Cause Autism · · Score: 0

    I don't think it's so much that cable is different than broadcast television. It is likely something to do with the fact that something is almost always on on cable. If not always, most definitely more often than plain old broadcast television. More stuff on TV usually equates to more TV being watched. I didn't read TFA though.

    I remember I watched TONS of TV as a kid, something at around 4-6 hours a day throughout most of elementary school. No, I was not and am not overweight. Anyway, I remember my parents desperately trying to get me off the TV, so I had to fight back with any means I necessary. I eventually ended up researching the effects of television on children and read that gifted children tended to watch significantly more TV than average. They were not convinced.

  16. WAR ON MIDDLE AZEROTH on Virtual Economies Attract Real-World Tax Attention · · Score: 0

    THE MIDDLE CLASS OF AZEROTH HAS HAD ENOUGH!
    First exhorbitant repair rates, rising mount costs, and now this?

  17. Hmm... on Microsoft or Google? · · Score: 0

  19. Ah the snail... on Radioactive Snails Crawl Up From Beneath · · Score: 5, Funny

    Immune to radioactivity, yet incredibly susceptible to salt. Nature sure had fun making you.

  20. Re:On snap! on AMD Unveils Barcelona Quad-Core Details · · Score: 2, Funny

    Your mother is so fat, she sat on an A64X2 3800+ and made two A64 3000+'s!

  21. Re:Ethical concerns on Making Computer Memory From a Virus · · Score: 0

    Last I heard, the jury was still out on whether a virus was a lifeform or not.

  22. I'd prefer the US on Helping Other Big Brothers Go High Tech · · Score: 0

    I visited China wearing a t-shirt with a map of the region we were visiting (China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan), but Taiwan was colored as a separate country. I was quickly hunted down by Chinese guards/soldiers at the airport and told to take my shirt off, turn it inside out, and leave it in my bag for the remainder of my stay in China.

    Shoebomb jokes aside, that's ridiculous. Sure, the US gets pretty weird when there are big scares (red scare(s)), but don't compare it to China.

  23. Just wondering... on Microsoft Sues and Gets Sued · · Score: 0

    if MS has been suing those in the populous pirate nations of Russia and China. Or are they just trying to scare American consumers?

  24. I can't wait on Xerox Reveals Transient Documents · · Score: 2, Funny

    This will make for awesome practical jokes. "What do mean I just turned in blank pages professor!?"

  25. The only winning move is not to play. on Supercomputer to Hit 1.6 Petaflops With 16,000 Cell Chips · · Score: 0
